During the meeting, board members discussed the necessity of upgrading the administrative building, citing the age and inefficiency of existing systems. It was noted that some heating parts are so outdated that replacements have been sourced from platforms like eBay, emphasizing the need for modernization. Board members stressed that the cost of the project would not impact local taxes, as funds from the capital reserve, designated for long-term facility improvements, would be utilized.

The resolution passed allows the district to engage architects who previously assessed the condition of district buildings in 2019. This initiative is the final major project in the district’s plan, following extensive renovations in other educational facilities. The board emphasized the strategic advantage of using their existing team of architects and contractors, who are already familiar with the district’s needs and expectations.

The board also addressed scheduling changes due to the delayed start of the audit, opting to cancel the upcoming finance committee meeting. This decision was made in light of the holiday season and the lack of necessary discussion topics for the scheduled meeting.
